Only in Alberta......


With the listeria crisis happening over here I guess things are getting a little desperate......the shelves in the grocery stores have been so bare lately....especially the deli sections. The local paper had an article saying that Moms are panicking over what to send in their childrens lunches to school....

One grcery store seems to have come up with the answer.....hoof!!!! Or so it would seem ;)

YUM!!!

Hahahahaha :)

Actually, Lloyd, Sam and I were walking down the road to meet the children from the schol bus today (camera in hand conveniently lol) and we saw this 'delightful' (NOT!!) item dumped by the side of the road. For some reason I felt driven to take a picture of it and blog it for you all to enjoy ;)

First day of school.....


The children all went back to school today! Abigail started grade two today and seemed to really enjoy it! There are 16 in her class including her - so a nice small class :) there were two other new children in her class apart from her, so she wasn't the only new one, and they spent all day playing 'get to know you' games.....

Laurence and Susannah seem to enjoy the new routine at school which has changed quite a bit this year - phys-ed every day now and drama twice a week which to me seems a very good thing!

Lloyd had to drive Chris into town this morning as he has to get the transit downtown this week (Lloyd isn't at work this week) and this afternoon we drove in to pick him up. Chris's first day high school seemed to go ok. He says he hasn't found his 'niche' yet but he thinks he'll get there..... ;) (we know he will lol) At least he got there on time and found his way and got through the classes etc. We sent him a couple of texts through the day and he called at lunchtime. I asked him what it was like and he said the halls were just FULL of people! I reminded him this was High School! Kind of different to the little rural school of less than 200 kids where everyone knew him ;)

He's happy though - for phys ed they are doing a whole week of bowling!!!!! Then a week of lazer tag!!!! `And one of the teachers from his old school just got moved to his new school :)

No picture of Chris - and I can't demand it because I agreed that the Icon pictures we had done a few weeks ago would be the last time I demand a picture from him!!! But I did get that smiling one yesterday ;)
